Starship Starlink Deploy Success: SpaceX's Starship Flight 10 Ship has successfully deployed all 8 of its Starlink simulators in a fairly smooth test of the Pez dispenser-like deployment system. Starship will eventually fly 60 Starlink V3 satellites at a time.

The spacecraft has spit out five of the satellites so far, which are in a flat stack, much like a Pez candy dispenser at a rate of about one per minute.
Starship in Space: SpaceX's Flight 10 Ship upper stage has shut down its engines and is now coasting in space, a major milestone for today's test flight.
The next milestone will be the deployment of 8 Starlink simulators at the 18-minute mark of the flight.
Splashdown 1! SpaceX's Starship Super Heavy booster made a soft landing and splashdown in the Gulf of Mexico after a smooth launch and stage separation. The 33-engine rocket lost 1 engine, but it did not appear to affect the flight
